TAYLOR TRAMMELL NEWS

Traded to Houston The Astros acquired Trammell from the Yankees on Monday, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

Impact There's no word yet on what the Yankees will be getting in return, but it's unlikely to be much. Trammell was just added to the 40-man roster over the weekend to keep him from reaching minor-league free agency and now has been flipped to a new team. The 27-year-old has hit just .167/.270/.363 with a 37.1 percent strikeout rate over parts of four major-league seasons.

Added to 40-man roster The Yankees selected Trammell's contract from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Sunday.

Impact Trammell spent most of the 2024 season at Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, slashing .256/.381/.488 with 18 homers and 20 steals. He's hit only .167/.270/.363 with a 37.1 percent strikeout rate over parts of four major-league seasons, but the Yankees decided the 27-year-old was worthy of a 40-man roster spot heading into the offseason.

Dodgers claim outfielder Taylor Trammell from Seattle

The Los Angeles Dodgers have claimed outfielder Taylor Trammell off waivers from the Seattle Mariners

APRIL 2 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Claimed by Dodgers The Dodgers claimed Trammell off waivers from the Mariners on Tuesday, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.

Impact Trammell had been designated for assignment by Seattle after failing to make the Opening Day roster. The former top prospect is out of options, so the Dodgers will need to clear space for him on their 26-man and 40-man rosters. There wouldn't appear to be a path to much playing time for Trammell, although Jason Heyward (back) is banged up. The 26-year-old has hit just .168/.270/.368 with a 37 percent strikeout rate over parts of three big-league seasons.

Knocks first spring homer Trammell went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in a Cactus League tie with the Brewers on Friday.

Impact The 26-year-old outfielder's second-inning homer with Luis Urias aboard put the first runs of the day on the board and served as his first round-tripper of spring. Trammell also pushed his Cactus League average and OPS to .276 and .865, respectively, but he whether he makes the cut for the Opening Day roster with Mitch Haniger, Julio Rodriguez and Luke Raley healthy across the outfield, and several other players versatile enough to spell them also available, remains to be seen.

First hits of spring Wednesday Trammell went 2-for-2 with an RBI double, a stolen base and a run in the Mariners' Cactus League loss to the Royals on Wednesday.

Impact After going 0-for-4 with a pair of strikeout in his first two Cactus League games, Trammell broke out for a highly productive afternoon. The 26-year-old prospect has hit well at Triple-A Tacoma but struggled throughout his time in the majors over his last three seasons, producing just a .168 average, .639 OPS and 37.0 percent strikeout rate across the 351 career plate appearances he's logged against big-league arms. The offseason additions of Mitch Haniger and Luke Raley have fortified the Mariners' corner outfield spots, but Trammell could potentially carve out a role as a reserve option in both the outfield and at designated hitter with a strong enough spring.

FEBRUARY 29 • ROTOWIRE

Solid since return to Tacoma Trammell owns a .265/.429/.588 slash line with 10 extra-base hits and 14 RBI across 91 plate appearances over 21 games since his demotion to Triple-A Tacoma.

Impact Trammell has slugged six homers and drawn 19 walks over that span as well, although his issues with consistent contact have persisted in the form of a 31.9 percent strikeout rate. The solid numbers strike a welcome contrast from Trammell's big-league stints this season, however, a sample where he's posted a .130 average, .612 OPS and 39.3 percent strikeout rate over 22 games. If Trammell continues to hit well on the farm, a return to the big-league club when rosters expand Sept. 1 could be in play.

AUGUST 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Sent to Triple-A Trammell was optioned to Triple-A Tacoma on Tuesday.

Impact The 25-year-old will head back to the minors with trade-acquisitions Josh Rojas and Dominic Canzone officially joining the active roster. Trammell has a .612 OPS in 56 plate appearances this season but could rejoin the Mariners later on if they need outfield help.

AUGUST 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Returns to majors Trammell was recalled from Triple-A Tacoma on Saturday, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.

Impact Trammell has batted just .133/.278/.333 across 20 games in the big leagues this season. He could see some playing time in left field while Jarred Kelenic (foot) and AJ Pollock (hamstring) are out, but Cade Marlowe and Dylan Moore might be the preferences there.

Optioned to Triple-A Seattle optioned Trammell to Triple-A Tacoma on Thursday, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

Impact This move clears out a major-league roster spot for Mike Ford, whose contract will be selected Friday. Trammell, 25, has batted just .133/.278/.333 across 20 games (54 plate appearances) this year in the bigs.

Productive near bottom of order Trammell went 0-for-2 with two walks and a run in a loss to the Yankees on Monday.

Impact Trammell got the call at designated hitter for only his second start since May 20. The struggling outfielder reached safely multiple times via walk or hit for the first time since May 7 in the process. However, his overall struggles at the plate, which are encapsulated in his .143/.294/.357 slash line, are likely to keep his playing time fairly irregular.

MAY 30, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Starting at designated hitter Trammell is starting in the designated hitter spot and batting eighth on Monday versus the Yankees, Shannon Drayer of Seattle Sports 710 AM reports.

Impact The Mariners have mostly mixed and matched at DH in recent days, although this is Trammel's second start there in the last four contests. He's sporting just a .652 OPS in 17 games with the big club this season.

MAY 29, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Out again Sunday Trammell is not in the starting lineup versus the Pirates on Sunday.

Impact Trammell is sitting for a second consecutive game even with right-hander Luis Ortiz on the mound for the Pirates. Cal Raleigh will operate as the designate hitter for Seattle on Sunday with Tom Murphy getting the start behind the plate.

MAY 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Breather Saturday Trammell is not in the starting lineup Saturday versus the Pirates.

Impact Trammell will take a seat after he went 1-for-4 with an RBI and two strikeouts in Friday's 11-6 loss. The left-hander has now gone 3-for-22 with a solo homer, four RBI, a walk and 10 strikeouts over the last two weeks. Eugenio Suarez will start at designated hitter while Kolten Wong starts second base and will bat ninth after some lineup shuffling.

MAY 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Out against lefty Trammell isn't starting Thursday against Oakland.

Impact With left-hander JP Sears starting on the mound for the A's, Trammell will begin Thursday in the dugout. Cal Raleigh will take over as Seattle's DH, and Tom Murphy will start behind the plate batting eighth.

MAY 25, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Gets Tuesday off Trammell isn't starting Tuesday against the Athletics.

Impact This marks the third consecutive game Trammell has started in the dugout -- likely due to his .147 batting average on the season. Cal Raleigh will take over as Seattle's designated hitter Tuesday, allowing Tom Murphy to start behind the dish and bat ninth.

Takes seat against southpaw Trammell is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's finale against Atlanta.

Impact Trammell will grab a seat on the bench with left-hander Jared Schuster on the bump for Atlanta on Sunday. AJ Pollock will get the start in left field while Jarred Kelenic is operating as the designated hitter.

MAY 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Belts third homer Trammell went 1-for-2 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 9-4 loss to the Red Sox.

Impact The Mariners did all their scoring in the fourth inning, with Trammell's shot off Nick Pivetta being the big blow. The outfielder is still looking for his multi-hit performance since coming off the IL to make his season debut in late April, going 4-for-25 (.160) in 11 games, but three of those four hits have left the yard.

MAY 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Stays on bench Wednesday Trammell is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rangers, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

Impact The lefty-hitting Trammell took a seat in Tuesday's 5-0 win while lefty Andrew Heaney was on the hill for Texas, but the former's absence from the lineup is more conspicuous Wednesday with the Rangers bringing right-hander Dane Dunning to the bump. Trammell's move to the bench against a righty could suggest that he's not as secure in a strong-side platoon role as was previously thought. Since returning from the injured list April 30 and producing two home runs in his first four games, he's gone 1-for-9 with three walks and four strikeouts over his subsequent four contests.

MAY 10, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Getting regular run versus righties Trammell will start in left field and bat ninth in Sunday's game against the Astros.

Impact Trammell will remain in the lineup for the fifth time in seven games and appears to have solidified a regular role in the starting nine against right-handed pitching. AJ Pollock, meanwhile, is on the bench for the fourth consecutive contest and looks to be the main loser from a playing-time perspective while Trammell has seen his role grow.
